I didn't manage to find a thread about Naval Action, so here you go:
Game-Labs, the same company which produced the Gettysbourg game of Darth Vader, is also responsible for the Naval Action, a sandbox strategy game, exclusively dedicated to the naval warfare of the 18th century:
I noticed a couple of weaknesses [the rammed (!) ships are sinking too quickly], but it generally seems promising.
I definitely hope that it will portray naval tactics much better than the abomination, called Empire Total War, where all the sides were applying Nelson's strategy with chaotic consequences.
I read, in their official forums, that a considerable variety of naval powers will be included, from France and the Ottoman Empire to Denmark and the Netherlans.

Being given that the Artificial Intelligence of Gettysbourg is cleverer than me, and I am cleverer than the Artificial Intelligence of Total War, I hope the enemy ships will provide quite a challenge.
